10 Jun
Summary
- CBFC passed Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, Haunted, and Backrooms without cuts.
- Kangana Ranaut's Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata received a U/A 16+ rating.
- Haunted - Echoes Of The Past and Backrooms received 'A' ratings with no cuts.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has made a notable shift this week, passing three significant films without requesting any cuts, a move that follows two weeks of intense scrutiny over its censorship decisions. This reversal offers a pleasant surprise after previous controversies.
Kangana Ranaut's film, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, which tackles the 26/11 terror attacks, was cleared with a U/A 16+ rating on May 29. The Examining Committee found no grounds for cuts despite the film's thriller genre and violent scenes. The film's runtime is 127.13 minutes.
Following this, Vikram Bhatt's highly anticipated horror film, Haunted - Echoes Of The Past, received an 'A' rating on June 9, also with zero cuts. This is particularly noteworthy for a horror film, which often faces cuts for graphic content. The movie runs for 138.54 minutes.
Completing the list, the sci-fi psychological horror Backrooms was granted an 'A' rating on June 8 without any modifications. The film is 110.54 minutes long and has gained traction as a potential sleeper hit, though some uncertainty remains about pre-submission edits.
